Pros

Great benefits, amazing Union reps.

Cons

The company itself treats its employees terribly. Overworking, not enough pay (you don’t get paid for half the day you work), extreme fatigue because of very crew rests. They treat mothers worse & do nothing to help with the conflicts that may arise with motherhood.

Pros

Benefits Health/Dental/Eye Incentives and extra pay add up You can pretty much work whenever from wherever. Union representation saved our jobs during COVID, thanks to Sara Nelson. Great leadership

Cons

*Internal division due to merger of companies. *Very different standards in product. You may fly a brand new 787 Dreamliner with the latest technology one day, and then an obviously aging 737-700 the next. *As mentioned above, United does amazing in innovation such as their app, carbon footprint, and so forth, yet it’s still lagging their competitors in onboard product, wifi, entertainment, and connect-ability to the ground. *This job has the potential to change your life. You will experience things that most only dream of. It’s rewarding, freeing, spontaneous, and oh so fun. It is still a job though. They’ll be times of constant work, early wake-ups, drunk passengers, crying babies, difficult coworkers, and more. But it is honestly, the best job in the world and that’s why people don’t want to leave it. It’s a strong family.
